Singer Coco Lee, who enjoyed pop stardom in Asia in the 1990s and 2000s, has died at the age of 48, BBC reported.
Born in Hong Kong, Lee moved to the US as a child and released albums in Mandarin and English.
She also voiced the lead character in the Mandarin version of Disney's hit film Mulan, and performed a song from the soundtrack of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon at the 2001 Oscars.
Her sisters said she had been in a coma since a suicide attempt at the weekend.
Lee had been suffering from depression for a few years, older sisters Carol and Nancy wrote in a Facebook post.
She tried to take her own life at home on Sunday and was taken to hospital, where she breathed her last on Wednesday, they wrote.
